Design
The Design functions in Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 perform operations related to
designing the appearance of a document. These operations include functions that apply a
specified cascading style sheet (CSS) style, split a selected frame vertically or horizontally, align
selected layers or hotspots, play a selected plug-in item, create a layout cell, or manipulate
table rows or columns.

dreamweaver.cssRuleTracker object either control or act on the selection in the CSS rule
tracker panel of the Selection inspector. Methods of the
dreamweaver.cssStylePalette
object either control or act on the selection in the Styles panel, not in the current document.
